Othello takes a bow
On 1 November 1604, William Shakespeare's tragedy Othello was presented for the first time, at The Palace of Whitehall. The palace was the main residence of the English monarchs in London from 1530 until 1698. Seven years to the day, Shakespeare's romantic comedy The Tempest was also presented for the first time, and also at the Palace of Whitehall.

Campbellite Meeting
In 1848 the Campbellites (Disciples of Christ) met in Elstree Street, where their congregation was presided over by a pastor named John Black. Their appointed evangelist at the time was called David King, who later became the Editor of the British Millennial Harbinger. The meeting room was visited in July 1848 by Dr John Thomas, who spoke there twice on his two-year 'mission' to Britain.

Millions Of Rats In Busy London
The Daily Mail on 14 April 1903 reported "MILLIONS OF RATS IN BUSY LONDON"
A rat plague, unprecedented in the annals of London, has broken out on the north side of the Strand. The streets principally infested are Catherine street, Drury lane, Blackmore street, Clare Market and Russell street. Something akin to a reign of terror prevails among the inhabitants after nightfall. Women refuse to pass along Blackmore street and the lower parts of Stanhope street after dusk, for droves of rats perambulate the roadways and pavements, and may be seen running along the window ledges of the empty houses awaiting demolition by the County Council in the Strand to Holborn improvement scheme.
The rats, indeed, have appeared in almost-incredible numbers. "There are millions of them," said one shopkeeper, and his statement was supported by other residents. The unwelcome visitors have been evicted from their old haunts by the County Council housebreakers, and are now busily in search of new homes. The Gaiety Restaurant has been the greatest sufferer. Rats have invaded the premises in such force that the managers have had to close the large dining room on the first floor and the grill rooms on the ground floor and in the basement. Those three spacious halls which have witnessed many as semblages of theatre-goers are now qui:e deserted. Behind the wainscot of the bandstand in the grillroom is a large mound of linen shreds. This represents 1728 serviettes carried theee by the rats.
In the bar the removal of a panel disclosed the astonishing fact that the rats have dragged for a distance of seven or eight yards some thirty or forty beer and wine bottles and stacked them in such a fashion as to make comfortable sleeping places. Mr Williams. the manager of the restaurant, estimates that the rats have destroyed L200 worth of linen. Formerly the Gaiety Restaurant dined 2000 persons daily; no business whatever is now done in this direction.

BlackJack Playground
Emslie Horniman's Pleasance was my favourite childhood park.I went to St Mary's Catholic school, East Row from Nursery all the way through to Year 6 before Secondary School and I was taken here to play most days. There was a centre piece flower bed in the Voysey Garden surrounded by a pond which my classmates and I used to jump over when no one was looking. The Black jack playground was the go to playground for our sports days and my every day shortcut to get close to the half penny steps foot bridge via Kensal Road. There was also a shop where we could buy ice lollies on hot summer days.The Southern Row side of the Park was filled with pebbles which used to be so fun to walk through as a child, I used to walk through the deepness of the pebbles to get to Bosworth Road or east towards Hornimans Adventure Park.

Auction of the paper stock of Janssen and Roberts
A broadside advertisement reads: "By auction, to be sold on Thursday next being the 16th of this present July, the remainder of the stock in partnership between Janssen and Roberts, at their late dwelling-house in Dean's Court, the south side of St. Pauls, consisting of Genoa papers according to the particulars underneath." The date in the ESTC record is purely speculative; July 16th was a Thursday in many years during the 18th century; 1750 is only one possibility. Extensive searching has found no other record of the partners or the auction.

Dukes Place, EC3A
Until his death in 1767, Daniel Nunes de Lara worked from his home in Dukes Street as a Pastry Cook. It was not until much later the street was renamed Dukes Place. Daniel and his family attended the nearby Bevis Marks synagogue for Sephardic Jews. The Ashkenazi Great Synagogue was established in Duke Street, which meant Daniel's business perfectly situated for his occupation as it allowed him to cater for both congregations.

Some Brief Notes on Hawthorne Close / Hawthorne Street
My great-grandparents lived in the last house on the south side of Hawthorne Street, no 13, and my grandmother Alice Knopp and her brothers and sisters grew up there. Alice Knopp married Charles Flewers, from nearby Hayling Road, and moved to Richmond, Surrey, where I was born. Leonard Knopp married Esther Gutenberg and lived there until the street was demolished in the mid-1960s, moving on to Tottenham. Uncle Len worked in the fur trade, then ran a pet shop in, I think, the Kingsland Road.
From the back garden, one could see the almshouses in the Balls Pond Road. There was an ink factory at the end of the street, which I recall as rather malodorous.

Breaking: Feds charge NSA leaker Edward Snowden with espionage

HERE's the deal:
Federal prosecutors have filed a sealed criminal complaint against Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked a trove of documents about top-secret surveillance programs, and the United States has asked Hong Kong to detain him on a provisional arrest warrant, according to U.S. officials.
Snowden was charged with espionage, theft and conversion of government property, the officials said….
Snowden flew to Hong Kong last month after leaving his job at an NSA facility in Hawaii with a collection of highly classified documents that he acquired while working at the agency as a systems ...

As much as it pains me to admit I did not get this giraffe myself. I wish I would have been there so that I could have had the opportunity to point out that whether one calls themselves a Democrat or Republican, they still suck at drawing. Frankly, it may be the one thing that can unite us as a country.
Or something like that.
Anyway, the following has been relayed to me by a friend of mine named Joe Hartmann (Facebook) who, coincidentally, ran into the congressman in a DC airport. For those who may not be familiar with U.S. Congressman Paul Ryan, he is the chairman of the House Budget Committee who has been in the news lately because of his proposed federal budget and its ensuing controversy. I'll try to keep my opinions to myself.
Packed up and at the airport ready to return to the state after spending a weekend in the capitol city for an environmental conference, I can only presume Joe was not aware that he was on the cusp of history. Note even knowing the name of the congressman until the deed was done, turning to another bystander and asking "Who was that?" I can only presume that Joe had any clue that he would be interacting with one of the most powerful men in Washington.
As Joe is waiting for his plane to arrive a great commotion breaks out in the distance. Suddenly lights begins to flash and the chattering of the crowd fills the terminal – Joe doesn't recognize the person but surely someone must. As Ryan signs autographs and takes pictures with fans, the only clear fact is that he's a celebrity. So what is one to do?
Approaching the congressman, my friend is blunt: "Can you draw me a giraffe?"
Ryan is equally so: "No."
Though Ryan continues to excite the crowd, Joe continues, "My friend has a blog where he collects giraffes drawn by people who should not be drawing giraffes. It's gaining some steam and he already has some drawings from other politicians …." Even though I can only extrapolate and piece together the exchange through my conversations with Joe, the fact that it worked implies that it must have been divinely inspired. There really is no other rational explanation for it.
Pulling out a piece of paper, Ryan practices his art. Unsatisfied with his first attempt he tears the sheet out of the notebook, crumples it up and puts it into his back pocket. Trying again he creates what can only be described as a masterpiece that may or may not be better than Congressman Tim Walz's giraffe.
Though I'm not sure why it has black, soulless eyes ….

Stuart Chaifetz is the father of a 10-year-old boy who's been diagnosed with autism. His son, Akian, was repeatedly sent home from school with notes from teachers complaining of violent outbursts. Chaifetz became suspicious because the behavior described in the notes didn't match up with the son he knew, and so one day he sent Akian to school wired with a recording device. He says the recording proves his child was being bullied and abused by staff members.
AC360 has picked up this story because we take bullying very seriously, and the thought of a special-needs teacher bullying a student is clearly disturbing. And there are some difficult moments picked up on the tape. For example, at one point an unidentified adult female, caught on tape, says to Akian, "You are a bastard."
Stuart Chaifetz brought the recording to the attention of the school board in his town, Cherry Hill, New Jersey. As a result, administrators fired one of the two aides who were overheard on the recordings. The other aide, along with teacher Kelly Altenburg, were transferred.
The school district first responded to the events that took place with this statement: "I want to assure our parents that the individuals who are heard on the recording raising their voices and inappropriately addressing children no longer work in the district and have not since shortly after we received the copy of the recording." And today, they released another statement, after Altenburg's mere transfer seemed by some to equate with an exoneration: "While we cannot legally comment specifically on personnel matters, the District does not consider the matter closed at this time as the investigation remains on-going."
To respond to all of this, Stuart Chaifetz joined Anderson on the show tonight. Also, an expert on these matters– Arevea Martin, a disability rights attorney and children's advocate.
My only son is four and is autistic. He is part of a special needs program. I have met all his teachers and aids, and I think they are all wonderful people. But, I've seen SO many of these stories on the news in the last year or so. I won't yank him from the program out of sheer panic, but I worry so much now. I remember the terrible people who were my high school teachers (one watched a bully slam a chair into my back three times and call me names and the teacher just laughed at me. I beat the snot out of the bully and the teacher kicked ME out of class.) and I worry even more. I've never felt so alone in this, a single mother with an autistic son. People just tell me it's "sensationalism". But that doesn't make me feel better. Teachers are people, and people can be dasterdly and foul. What's a mom to do, huh?
Stuart, I commend your efforts and as so many others can clearly understand right where you're coming from! In another comment someone mentioned that this may be an isolated incident ( which is highly unlikely ) but how would you like to tell that to Stuarts son ??????? Even if it was only once then it's still one too many times to EVER happen to a child let alone an autiistic child at that. BTW, as the report states the teachers kept sending home notes complaining of this Autistic childs behavior so the idea of this happening only once is pretty much shot out the window if you ask me. Ask yourself the question, what would you do if you saw someone abusing a child in the mall, on the street or anywhere in publc ? Would you stand up for that child ?? Again, good job Stuart and we are all rooting for you and your son !!!!!!!!!!!
The audio tape of Akian Chaifetz, being verbally and emotionally abused by a teacher, Kelly, evoked a parental instinct deep inside of me that I had to respond. I feel that teachers, such as these, should be exorcised from our schools systems, forever and without pay or benefits. If you are offended, please forgive me, as this is not my intention; change is.
The Cherry Hill School and district should be ashamed of themselves. How dare they consider themselves part of our beloved teaching establishment, whose intent, is to lovingly, nurture our children. When their school or district does not hold the teachers accountable for their conduct; regardless of tenure, they all should be hung out to dry! The behavior exhibited by the Cherry Hill teacher, who is abusive to autistic children, is beyond any words. Not only was she behaving in such a vile manner, she was encouraged by other employees, of Cherry Hill School. You cannot tell me, that other teachers were not was aware of this, disgusting and inappropriate conduct. The American People deserve better teachers than this. WE need to clean house in the school systems throughout the USA. Do away with tenure, the unions, and or the laws that protect BAD teachers... The GOOD teachers know who they are… ask them? But because of the power of the unions… change will not happen. Adults need to start defending our children. Change will only happen when WE (citizens of the USA) make those changes, in spite of the Unions.
My heart goes out to the parents of the child...my mother worked in a state facility that took excellent care of special needs patients and I have always admired parents with special needs children. I hope justice is served swiftly and fairly. God bless the parents.
The other aide, along with teacher Kelly Altenburg, were transferred? Outrageous, these people should be fired immediately.
Bullying is a learned behavior...bullying is not an inborn action. Children learn by mimicking their parents at home, teachers and people who surround them and their world. The bullies and their caregivers need counseling to address this inappropiate behavior. If counseling is unsuccessful then the courts should intervene.
That is so good that the father,of Akian, found out about the abuse going on at the school. It took 6 mths. for the father to find out, but that is better than at a much later time. That is good to hear how Akian's father was able to help his son to not get bullied by his teachers anymore.
I don't understand transferring the others. They will continue to abuse in their new positions.
This father captured an abuse which happened on a particular day and time. Could this be an isolated incident that he just happened to record or is this happening in numerous places every day? Of course it is. There should be a law which mandates video cameras (web cams) in every classroom where there are special needs kids. Especially children (like mine) that are autistic and non-verbal.– Carlo M (PA)
The father only did the recording because of an ongoing pattern of behavior in his son, not seen nor able to be reproduced even by a therapist anywhere else. So the chances of this being an isolated incident are very low.
Good Job Daddy!!!Teachers should be fined with heavy money...
I am so moved by this parent and I applaud his savvy in doing what he's done to support and protect his child. Shame on the district, the teacher and certainly the aids who behaved in such a cruel manner. You go dad!!!
wow thats crazie! I also have an 11 year old daughter with Autism and she is also non-verbal. This story really makes me think of my childs care in school. Since she is unable to tell me or express herself. wow still in shock..Those teachers should never ever teach special needs kids again.
My daughter has Asperger's Syndrome, which is on the Autism Spectrum and I have definitely seen/heard of many instances where she was not treated fairly... I wish I had done more about it. I am a very involved parent and fight for my daughter any time I can and/or feel it is needed, but unfortunately, looking back, there are things that I let slide that I now wish I hadn't!! She is 17 years old now and my heart still breaks from all the cruelty that she had to endure over the years. I love you for sticking up for your son the way you did!
Forget about firing these abusive people, I fail to understand why they have not been arrested and charged with child abuse and human rights violations. If it were a PARENT treating their child that way and the school found out, the school would surely have taken tht step...have cps remove tthe child from the home and charge the parent with child abuse.
My daughter is in CH West and has had issues with at least 4 teachers in the past 6 years. This year she has another one who is MOODY and spiteful to kids. She told me this morning that West is not allowed to speak about this bully issue, she said there was a rumor that this teacher is now working in West. Just heard on the news not 1/2 hour after she left for school that it's true. This teacher was transferred to West. This is discipline action? Cherry Hill school district was never for safety before education but it sickens me that though my kid is almost finished school, that this teacher is in her school. As I have always said, the laws are there to protect the criminals, not the innocent.
I cannot believe that ALL of the people responsible for this horrible mistreatment and bullying were not immediately fired and formally charged with a crime. If a parent can be charged with child endangerment/neglect/abuse, and permanently have that on their record, for leaving their child in a car for a few seconds (WHICH I absolutely agree with!), how on earth can treatment such as this clear verbal abuse, and God only knows what else, be left unpunished. Thank you for shining so much light on this Anderson. I love your focus, as well as Ellen Degeneres' focus, on bullying. You are doing the right thing on this!
We need to develop garments for kids which have surveillance technology built right in. Perhaps a non-profit could fund development and make sure that kids with the greatest need are provided for. Most of the hardware is small enough to fit in a waistband or a shoe at this point. Hell, if Warren Buffett thinks so little of his money, let him fund it.
Mr. Chaifetz has successfully uncovered "bullying at it's worst". A professionally trained teacher with a degree in Special Education who is a bully and a district like so many others willing to excuse the behavior a teacher but FIRE immediately the lesser educated assistant or para-professionally who probably does not have a degree or training in special education. Districts are unfair in their policy practices when it relates to its classified staff members. Why is it that all the abuse we've been hearing in education goes un-punished. In Dubuque, Iowa there was an assistant principal who face charges for having an inappropriate affair with an under age minor and it seemed since he was legally charged he would be fired. But I believe he was simply able to resign. I believe at the state and federal level changes must be made in order to force school districts across the nation to "fire" abusive teachers. It is a politically corrupt institution which needs careful attention. One child was saved here, but others enduring abuse may not be able to be identified due to non-verbal skills or fear. Thank you for giving public air time to the challenges some parents face when trying to correct unfair practices or even abuse with a school district.
It is harder to do the right thing against people doing the wrong thing. The Cherry Hill School District and Union are protecting the teacher. They moved her to the high School Cherry Hill West and lied to the public saying that the "individuals heard on the tape were no longer employed in the district." there is proof in paychecks, a board meeting and a telephone extension in her name..
It is a sad day when you can't trust your school district.
I have a 9 year old daughter that was paddled by the Middle Valley Elementary School principal when she was 5 in Hixson, Tennessee. Did I mention that my daughter is disabled with an IEP from the school board? My daughter has a developmental speech impediment at the time was so severe that she was difficult to understand. Also, my ex-wife was taking our daughter to a neurologist for seizures at the time of the incident. My ex-wife and I spoke to the superintendent, and he justified that Tennessee can use corporal punishment according to Tennessee law. We got no apology, and the principle was allowed to continue discipline children. What I would like to know is how does a parent seek legal action in a situation like this?
This is so disturbing. It has motivated me to ask more questions about school aides' background, training and supervision. We cannot wait until our children show symptoms of abuse!

PA Turnpike tolls going up
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission reminds motorists that toll rates will increase on Jan. 6 by 10 percent for cash customers and 2 percent for E-ZPass customers. With the increase, E-ZPass customers who now see about a 17-percent savings on tolls will save about 25 percent, on average, compared to cash. The new rates – which take effect at 12:01 a.m. this Sunday – are expected to generate approximately $25 million in new revenue in 2013.
Because tolls have never been increased on the Southern Beltway (Pa. Turnpike 576) since its 2006 opening (while tolls on other Turnpike sections have gone up 48 percent), cash customers on this section of road near the Pittsburgh International Airport will see a 50 percent increase on Jan. 6. E-ZPass customers using the Southern Beltway will see no toll rate increase.
Officials said the toll increase is needed, in part, to satisfy the Turnpike's obligation to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to help address a transportation-funding shortfall. Under Act 44 of 2007, the Turnpike continues to make annual contributions of $450 million to PennDOT; of that, $250 million is used for public-transit agencies and $200 million is used for off-Turnpike road and bridge projects. To date, the Turnpike has provided more than $3.6 billion in funding which has been invested all across the state.
The toll increase is also essential to fund the Turnpike's own capital plan, focused largely on total reconstruction and widening projects in which the highway is completely rebuilt from the ground up and expanded from four to six lanes. So far the commission has rebuilt more than 100 miles of its system – parts of which are more than 72 years old – at an average cost of $20 million per mile.
The Turnpike Commission has set E-ZPass rates lower than cash rates since 2011. It aims to increase E-ZPass enrollment because it's less costly to process an electronic transaction compared to a cash transaction. Today, about 68 percent of all Pennsylvania Turnpike travelers already have E-ZPass, and the commission wants to grow that number as it develops a completely cashless system, called All-Electronic Tolling, in the coming years.
"Since the Turnpike launched E-ZPass more than a dozen years ago, customers have valued the benefits they get from going cashless, including safety, convenience and environmental advantages," said Acting Turnpike CEO Craig R. Shuey. "Now, by setting up a toll schedule that helps E-ZPass users save about 25 percent compared to cash, we've provided a more appealing incentive for those who've been meaning to sign up."
In addition to saving more on tolls, E-ZPass users are now paying less to open and maintain an account. The Turnpike recently lowered several E-ZPass account fees. On Dec. 1, 2012, the annual service fee for a personal account dropped from $6 per transponder to $3 per transponder. The transponder deposit for manual-replenishment customers dropped from $25 per transponder to $10 per transponder (the $10 fee is waived for an auto-replenishment account, which gets replenished with $35 from the customer's debit/credit card when the toll balance drops below $10). The damaged and lost/stolen fee was also reduced, from $25 to $10 per transponder for all customers. These price cuts were made possible because the Turnpike Commission is paying less for transponders as a result of a recent procurement process.
Many customers get E-ZPass online at www.paturnpike.com or by calling 1-877-Penn-Pass (1-877-736-6727). Customers can also buy an E-ZPass GoPak at more than 300 retailers across the state, including most AAA offices and at certain stores in these chains: Acme, Giant Eagle and GetGo, Karns, Walmart and Wegmans. The E-ZPass GoPak allows travelers to obtain a transponder that is already activated and can be used immediately. Customers who purchase a GoPak must register the E-ZPass within 72 hours online or by calling the toll-free number.
It costs $38 to purchase an E-ZPass if using a credit or debit card to set up an auto-replenishment account; the cost includes a $35 toll balance plus the $3 annual fee. In addition, E-ZPass retailers charge a one-time convenience fee (there is no convenience fee for those who join online or by phone).
Turnpike travelers can also get an E-ZPass at vending machines called Tag Tellers inside certain Pennsylvania Turnpike travel plazas. For a comprehensive list of E-ZPass retail locations, visit www.paturnpike.com/ezpass/sales.aspx.
One E-ZPass transponder can be moved from vehicle to vehicle using the provided mounting strips. Just remember to call or go online to register the license plate number and other information for the vehicles to be used under the E-ZPass account.
A Pennsylvania Turnpike E-ZPass can be used on any toll facility where the purple-and-white logo is shown. Presently, there are 25 E-ZPass agencies in 15 states, largely in the Northeastern U.S., and more than 20 million E-ZPass transponders in use on toll roads, bridges and tunnels nationwide.

Bret Easton Ellis: I Knew About Bryan Singer's Underage Parties
American Psycho and Less Than Zero author Bret Easton Ellis has never been shy about what's on his mind, and on the Monday edition of his podcast he had some damning words about the Bryan Singer sexual abuse scandal.
Ellis claims that he's known for years about Singer's parties involving underage boys and that he's dated men who both attended and participated in the alleged events that are being investigated. Ellis recalled being invited to one of the parties in December of 2007:
"[Ellis' friends] said, 'We're going over to one of Bryan's underage parties in Encino at the M & C Estate,' or whatever it was called," Ellis said on his podcast. "And I said 'Really, those are going on?' And they said 'Oh yeah, yeah. You should just see it as a goof.' ... I just didn't really feel comfortable. I had been drinking, and didn't want to drive and whatever."
X-Men director Bryan Singer accused of sexually abusing teen boy
Also on the podcast, which features True Blood's Alan Ball, Ellis talked about one of the men he dated who casually talked about Singer's parties.
"There was another guy that I dated who was in his late 20s and he said he had been one of those guys who had been invited to those parties for about two or three months," Ellis said. "And he's a sensitive guy and he wasn't at all into the drugs but he was kind of into the parties and the sex and the attention. And could easily understand--I guess he was 17? I don't know how old he was--what was expected of him."
Singer, 48, is currently being accused of raping then-17-year-old Michael Egan in 1999. Egan is seeking to charge Singer with battery assault and infliction of emotional distress. Singer has denied the allegations.
Ellis also implied that this is not surprising given Hollywood's history.
"There is the notion that Hollywood by its very nature kind of encourages this behavior in a way, or lets it-the idea that young people want to come out here and want to be stars and want attention. Well, what kind of doors does that open? And what does that kind of allow? We've heard horror stories about pedophilia in the industry for decades."
Bryan Singer accuser names more Hollywood execs in lawsuits
Ellis did not weigh in on the rape allegations against Singer, but hinted that it was suspicious and that "it seems calculated" that the story is coming to light just before the release of Singer's big-budget film X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Listen to the podcast below. Ellis' comments begin at the 58:50 mark.

The last thing you expect to see when walking into World of Warcraft's many towns and villages is a pile of skeletons stretching as far as the eye can see. Yet that's exactly what some players encountered yesterday morning after hackers found an exploit that let them kill every player and non-player character in the towns of Stormwind and Orgrimmar.
The massacre apparently resulted from a previously unseen exploit that let level one characters access the kill commands for every player and computer-controlled character in the area. A few quick-witted players managed to record video of the massacre as it was happening, showing characters dropping left and right in the formerly safe confines of the cities.
Blizzard quickly issued a hotfix for the exploit, which it says "should not be repeatable." The company is now conducting a "thorough investigation" into what it considers a very serious matter. "We apologize for the inconvenience some of you experienced as a result of this and appreciate your understanding," community manager Nethaera wrote in an official forum post.
But those behind the attacks think Blizzard should be ashamed they were allowed to happen in the first place. "We didn't do any permanent damage," one of the purported hackers wrote on a forum post tracked down by Eurogamer. "Some people liked it for a new topic of conversation and a funny stream to watch, and some people didn't. The people who didn't should be blaming Blizzard for not fixing it faster (four hours of obvious use is sad)."
"It's not like I added 20,000,000 gold to everyone's inventory and broke the economy, but look at the big Chinese gold seller companies who are doing this every day," the post continued. "Now ask yourself who is really ruining the game. It's not us. That's my justification."
While this latest hack isn't nearly as consequential as previous exploits that have exposed player passwords and personal information, it's still a black eye for a game where players need to feel their characters are secure. Given the huge audience of potential griefers trying to find any edge in the game, it's kind of a wonder this kind of thing doesn't happen more often.

Kovels Antiques & Collecting: Week of Jan. 7, 2013
Roseville Pottery was founded in Roseville, Ohio, in 1890. A second Roseville plant opened in nearby Zanesville in 1898. Early Roseville pieces were decorated with handwork, including sgraffito designs.
Sgraffito is a method of scratching or carving a design into wet clay. Roseville vases with sgraffito designs are the most expensive Roseville vases today. Later pieces were molded, and many were made with raised decorations of flowers and fruit. Almost every piece was marked with some form of the word "Roseville" or "Rozane" (a combination of the names of the two cities where the pottery's plants were located). But be careful. Other potteries in the town of Roseville used the word "Roseville" in their marks, and there are many modern fakes of old Roseville vases.
A vase covered with raised fish designed in 1906 by Frederick Hurten Rhead, the company's art director, sold for $3,125 at a June 2012 Rago Arts auction in Lambertville, N.J. It was marked "GA" by the unknown artist who carved the fish. An almost identical vase marked "ED" is known. There was a set pattern for the artists to follow for these vases, part of a Roseville line called "Della Robbia."
Q: I'm trying to find information on the C.M. Bott Furniture Co. of Buffalo, N.Y. I have a piece by the company and can't find any information. Can you help?
A: C.M. Bott Furniture Co. was founded by Charles M. Bott and was in business in Buffalo, N.Y., from 1914 to about 1931. The company specialized in making moderately priced dining-room furniture.
Q: We have a Cheerful Oak stove made by Channon-Emery Stove Co. It's stamped with the number 1900, which may be the year of manufacture. Can you give us an idea of the stove's value? It's not in good condition.
A: The Channon-Emery Stove Co. was founded in about 1880 by Joseph Emery and William Channon. The company, located in Quincy, Ill., manufactured various types of heating and cooking stoves and ranges. The Cheerful Oak model is listed as a "heater" in an 1895 issue of The Metal Worker, a trade journal. The Cheerful Oak was made in three sizes and was designed to burn wood or coal. Your stove, if in poor condition, would sell for about $300.
Q: I read an article about old collectible cereal boxes in the Farmers Forum of Fargo, N.D. I have two Wheaties boxes picturing the 1987 World Champion Minnesota Twins. Both boxes are in perfect shape and have never been opened. What are they worth?
A: A friend has one of the 1987 boxes, too. A single box, even in perfect condition, would sell for $10 to $15. If you decide to hold on to your Twins boxes, store them in archival bags. Open the boxes carefully from the bottom and empty out the cereal to prevent damage from insects.
Q: I found a large platter in my basement. I don't know where it came from. It's white with a thin decorative border and the letters "U.S.L.H.S." at the top. It is 13 by 19 1/2 inches and is marked on the back "James M. Shaw & Co., New York." There's also a second mark I can't make out. Any information would be appreciated.
A: The initials on your platter stand for the United States Lighthouse Service, which was formed in 1910. It merged with the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939. The Lighthouse Service maintained all the lighthouses in the United States. Three different patterns of dinnerware were made for the Lighthouse Service, each by a different manufacturer. Your platter is in one of the first two patterns made. The mark you can't read is probably the manufacturer's mark. James M. Shaw & Co. was a New York City distributor that was bought by Nathan Straus in 1936. So your plate was probably made between 1910 and 1936. Value: about $1,000 because it was made for the Lighthouse Service.
Q: I have a green Lucky Strike trick cigarette pack. There's a small key to wind it up in the back of the pack. Then the pack jiggles on the table.
A: Lucky Strike cigarettes were first made by the American Tobacco Co. in 1916. The package was green with a red logo until 1942, when the pack was changed to white with the same red logo. Your vibrating cigarette pack was made sometime before 1942 by J. Chein Co., a toy company founded by Julius Chein in New York in 1903. Chein made small toys and prizes for Cracker Jack as well as Disney, Felix, Popeye and other character toys. The company moved to New Jersey in 1949 and in the 1950s began making advertising tins, kitchen canisters, wastebaskets and other housewares. Chein stopped making toys in 1976. The Atlantic Can Co. bought Chein in 1987 and the company's name became Atlantic Cheinco Corp. That company went bankrupt in 1992. Trick packs like yours sell for $80 or less.
Tip: Never wash a tobacco "felt." The small flannel flags and other flannel premiums were packed with cigarettes in the early 1900s. They lose value if washed.

Not Today Heathen Child Not Today Graphic Tee
Not Today Heathen Child Not Today Graphic Tee
Our most popular shirt option is the Bella & Canvas crew neck (shown). It is super soft and you're sure to love the unisex fit and the fabulous feel.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash inside-out with cold water and tumble dry on low heat or line dry.
- For best results use mild detergent and avoid the use of fabric softener and dryer sheets.
Please note, the photo used is a "mock-up". The actual shirt will have a more vintage look to it due to the printing process. Colors may vary across screens and the shirt colors may be slightly different than they appear on your screen.
Sublimation or DTG?
Sublimation or DTG?
So you might be wondering what the difference is between sublimation and DTG.
With sublimation tees, the ink is infused into the shirt. You literally cannot feel it. The ink will outlast the shirt itself. It will never crack or peel. But sublimation has limitations - colored designs can only go on light colored shirts, black designs can go only go on light and medium colored shirts. There are no black or dark colored shirts, and no white ink. Shirts will have a vintage look (the mockups do not display this).
With DTG or direct to garment tees, the ink is laid on top of the shirt. The ink does have a slight feel on the shirt but its very light. There are no limitations to shirt color or design. We can also offer a larger selection of brands and shirt styles. If you're looking for black or other dark colored shirts choose DTG!
Still unsure of which to choose? Contact us and we can talk through your needs.

Bus driver not guilty of manslaughter in NY crash
A tour bus driver behind the wheel in a horrific crash that killed 15 people last year was found not guilty of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide on Friday.
Ophadell Williams was found guilty on one count of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Williams wept and covered his face with his hands as the verdict was read. On the count which he was found guilty, the judge sentenced him to 30 days in prison, which he has served. He also was ordered to pay a fee of $500.
Williams argued throughout the trial that he had been awake and alert, and said the crash was not the result of reckless behavior or extreme exhaustion. He said a tractor-trailer cut him off, causing him to swerve and hit a guardrail. But investigators could find no indication that had occurred.
His lawyer had said he was wracked with guilt over the crash — but not guilty of manslaughter.
"It happened as a motor vehicle accident, not as some crime," said Williams' lawyer, Patrick Bruno. "He tried to avoid tragedy, and tragedy occurred."
Bronx Assistant District Attorney Gary Weil had alleged Williams was so sleep deprived from working another job during the day that it affected his reflexes the same as if he were intoxicated behind the wheel. He said Williams knew the risks, but drove anyway.
The trial lasted more than eight weeks, with Superstorm Sandy causing a delay. Juror deliberated about a week, but not consecutively.
The March 12, 2011, crash happened on Interstate 95 at daybreak as Williams was ferrying a busload of gamblers to Manhattan's Chinatown from the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Conn. The bus crashed just feet from a road sign that read: "Welcome to the Bronx."
The bus struck a guard rail, toppled over and hit a signpost that tore open the top before skittering to a stop.
The victims were mostly Chinese men and women over the age of 40 who were regulars at casinos. About half died. The others were injured. Survivors missing limbs testified in court, including Ren Xiang Yao who spoke of how he lost both arms when he raised them up instinctively when the bus crashed. He said he didn't see the crash — though he remembers when the rescue crews arrived.
"I used all the energy I had left and said, 'I'm here, I'm here, please come rescue me,' "he said. "By the time I woke up, I was already in the hospital."
Yao was hospitalized for nearly a month and had several operations.
Jurors also watched video from the scene of the accident and other wounded passengers who testified the bus was unsteady in the moments before it crashed.
Williams has been held in Rikers Island because his family cannot post $250,000 bail. He faces/faced a maximum of 7 1/2 years to 15 years in prison.
The National Transportation Safety Board said in June that the accident was probably caused by driver fatigue, and a bus company that provided too little safety oversight. It stopped short of saying Williams had fallen asleep.
Williams worked for World Wide Tours of Greater New York. Federal regulators shut down the bus operator after the accident for safety violations. Williams had not turned in any driver's logs while working for the company as required by federal safety regulations, yet World Wide took no action, federal investigators said.
But the bus company won't face any criminal charges related to the crash, Bronx District Attorney Robert T. Johnson has said.
New York state has stepped up inspections of tour buses since the crash. Dozens of buses have been taken out of service after police found problems with logbooks, licenses or equipment. But there have been several bus accidents since.

Here's a roundup of some recent scholarship and online commentary about prison-related issues:
- "Prisons, Privatization, and the Elusive Employee-Contractor Decision," by Alexander Volokh in the Emory Law Review
- "Forms of Deference in Prison Law," by Sharon Dolovich in the Federal Sentencing Reporter
- "Slavery Revisited in Penal Plantation Labor," by Andrea Armstrong in the Seattle University Law Review
- "Queering Prison Abolition, Now?," a round-table at the American Quarterly
- "Against Law, for Order," by Mike Konczal in Jacobin: touches on a lot of recent books related to crime, policing, and prison policy
Also, via Doug Berman, I noticed that the Yale Law Journal is running a prison law writing contest. If you are or have been in prison or jail, you may be eligible to enter.
A programming note: the blog has been slow this spring. This has been my way of "winding down." I'll actually be moving on to some new endeavors soon where for various reasons I won't be able to blog, so I will be putting the blog on indefinite hiatus as of June 2012. I will leave the site up for archival purposes as long as WordPress will have it.

Dancing with the Stars Episode Recap: Tuesday, March 26, 2013
After two weeks of performances, Dancing with the Stars finally cuts its first couple. Did D.L. and Cheryl bite it? Or did someone else get the boot?
We get right down to business, but major warning: The ballroom is not for the hearing impaired. Brooke has to reread names three times before anyone can hear her over the crowd. Everybody, simma down now!
First three safe couples:
Ingo and Kym
Sean and Peta
Wynonna and Tony
Victor and Lindsay are in jeopardy. If they don't go home, I wouldn't be surprised if they are in the real bottom two. Victor wasn't terrible, but he was no standout either. Also, he went early both weeks, and has two strikes against him: a newbie pro with no established fan base and not being a big mainstream name himself.
The second group is up after Zendaya and Val get the Twitter-voted encore. Are they going to let Twitter votes determine all the encores? Because that's probably going to be monopolized by, like, three couples.
Next two safe couples:
Aly and Mark
D.L. and Cheryl
Yes, D.L. will live to dance again. Neither of them can believe it and they both fall to the floor. If you ask me, it was D.L.'s Whitney and Bobby joke that saved them. Obviously.
Lisa and Gleb are in jeopardy, but not before she hits on Len. Everyone always wants what they can't have.
Next three safe couples:
Zendaya and Val
Kellie and Derek
Jacoby and Karina
No duh. Can we just do these guys at the beginning of the results shows now?
After Josh Groban performs, with an assist from Chelsie and Dmitry (we will never see him as a pro again, will we?), the final two pairs hit the Red Light of Doom.
Next safe couple:
Dorothy and Tristan
That means Andy and Sharna are in jeopardy, but they are soon declared safe. Dorothy and Tristan do not react at all to being safe and we immediately learn why: She has to withdraw on the advice of her spine surgeon, otherwise she'd suffer irreparable damage.
"It would be completely unfair for me to stay in this," she tearfully says. "I can't do [Tristan] justice and these are the most amazing people who want to be here and it's not that I don't want to be here. I want to give it my all, but I can't."
"There's something a lot bigger going on than this competition," Tristan says.
Bummer. I love me some Olympians and some Tristan. This is the second straight season he's the first elimination, but health comes first. Get better, Dorothy, and keep spinning on and off the ice.
So either Victor and Lindsay or Lisa and Gleb - who were the actual bottom two - gets a one-week reprieve. "Use it wisely," Tom advises.
What do you think? Are you sad Dorothy had to withdraw? How far do you think she could've gone? Who do you think would've gone had she not pulled out? Are D.L. and Cheryl Whitney and Bobby or Pat and Tiffany? Have you done the Murgalo? Who's your current pick to win?

Oscar Pistorius disputes premeditated murder charge in bail hearing
- Prosecutors officially charged Pistorius%2C 26%2C with the upgraded charge of premeditated murder
- Reeva Steenkamp was shot four times in Pistorius%27 home in the early morning hours of Valentine%27s Day
- Pistorius%27 uncle said %22there is no substance to the allegation%22 that the Olympian murdered Steenkamp
While South African prosecutors charged premeditated murder, Olympic and Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius sobbed as his affidavit was read in court Tuesday in Pretoria, saying he was "filled with horror and fear" when he mistook girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp for an intruder and accidentally shot and killed her.
At Tuesday's bail hearing, prosecutors said that after an argument, Pistorius attached his prosthetic legs, walked 7 meters (about 8 yards) to the bathroom where Steenkamp was hiding and shot her.
Pistorius' affidavit disputed the prosecution's claims. It was the first time Pistorius has provided his side of the story since the night his girlfriend of three months was killed.
Steenkamp, 29, was a model and a law school graduate who died at Pistorius' home in Pretoria on Valentine's Day. Conviction on the charge of premeditated murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
In his affidavit, Pistorius describes going to bed and waking up in the early hours of Feb. 14. He said he went out to the balcony to bring in a fan and close the sliding doors and blinds, according to the Associated Press, which obtained the affidavit.
He heard a noise in bathroom, and "felt a sense of terror rushing over me," the affidavit said.
Pistorius, who is a double amputee, said he was not wearing his prosthetics, but he has mobility on his stumps.
"I believed that someone had entered my house," the affidavit said. "I was too scared to switch a light on. I grabbed my 9mm pistol from underneath my bed."
He said he screamed to Steenkamp to call the police, thinking she was still in bed. He noticed the bathroom window was open, and he thought an intruder was hiding in the separate enclosed toilet, according to the affidavit.
"As I did not have my prosthetic legs on and felt extremely vulnerable, I knew I had to protect Reeva and myself," the affidavit said. "I believed that when the intruder/s came out of the toilet we would be in grave danger."
Pistorius said he fired shots and shouted again at Steenkamp. When he realized she wasn't in bed, "it dawned on me that it could have been Reeva who was in the toilet," the affidavit said.
Pistorius then said he put on his prosthetic legs, broke the toilet door open with a cricket bat and found Steenkamp shot inside, then ran downstairs with her.
"She died in my arms," Pistorius said in the affidavit.
Chief magistrate Desmond Nair, listening to details of the killing given by both sides, ruled for the prosecution. The hearing will continue Wednesday when Nair is expected to decide whether Pistorius, jailed since the killing, is eligible for bail.
Pistorius released a statement that was read to the court: "I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder as I had no intention to kill my girlfriend."
"We were deeply in love," Pistorius' affidavit said.
Pistorius said he had received death threats, so he kept a 9mm pistol under his bed, according to the affidavit.
Wearing a gray suit and tie, Pistorius broke down and sobbed at times during the hearing, prompting the magistrate to say he must try to compose himself, the Associated Press reported.
News of Pistorius' arrest has shocked South Africa just months after his story captured the world's attention during last summer's London Olympics and Paralympics. The 26-year-old became the first double amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics and went on to win two gold medals at the Paralympics weeks later.
Steenkamp had gone to her boyfriend's home to spend the night with him on Feb. 14, the prosecution said. They say the couple had an argument before she locked herself in the bathroom. Pistorius fired four shots, and Steenkamp was hit three times, the prosecution said.
"If I arm myself, walk a distance and murder a person, that is premeditated," prosecutor Gerrie Nel said, according to Reuters. "The door is closed. There is no doubt. I walk 7 meters and I kill.
"The motive is, 'I want to kill.' That's it."
And Nel said the killing was premeditated because Pistorius had planned to say that he thought he was shooting an intruder and had told that story to his sister, Aimee.
According to the prosecution affadavit:
"(Pistorius) told his sister that he thought it was a burglar. We argue that this was part of the pre-planning to use as a defense. Why would a burglar lock himself into a toilet? There may have been an argument earlier between (Pistorius) and the deceased. ...
"There is no possible explanation to support his report that he thought that it was a burglar. Even (in) his own version, he readied himself, walked to the bathroom with the clear intention and plan to kill the 'burglar' and did so whilst the burglar was harmless and contained in a toilet. This in itself also constitutes premeditated murder of a 'defenseless burglar.' "
Defense lawyer Barry Roux disputed the premeditated murder charge. "All we really know is she locked herself behind the toilet door and she was shot," he said.
While Pistorius appeared in court, Steenkamp's family held a private memorial service in Port Elizabeth, a southern coastal town about 700 miles from Pretoria.
"There is space now in the family. We will miss her words," Steenkamp's brother, Adam, told reporters after the memorial service at Victoria Park Chapel, The Times of Johannesburg reported. Reporters were not allowed inside the service.
Mike Steenkamp, the victim's uncle, told reporters that his niece's body would be cremated and her ashes spread during another private ceremony, The Times reported.
Monday, Steenkamp's mother, June, said the family sought answers.
"Why? Why my little girl? Why did this happen? Why did he do this?" she said in an interview published Monday in The Times.
Pistorius' family has opposed the premeditated charge.
"After consulting with legal representatives, we deeply regret the allegation of premeditated murder," Arnold Pistorius, Oscar's uncle, told reporters. "We have no doubt there is no substance to the allegation and that the state's own case, including its own forensic evidence, strongly refutes any possibility of a premeditated murder or murder as such."
Known as the "Blade Runner" for his carbon-fiber running blades, Pistorius has had sponsorship deals with global companies such as Nike and Oakley.
Oakley released a statement Monday saying that it is suspending its contract with Pistorius, the Associated Press reported. Nike spokesman KeJuan Wilkins told the Associated Press that the company had no plans to use Pistorius in future ads. He did not say whether Nike previously had plans for Pistorius or whether it pulled current ads featuring him.
Pistorius' agent, Peet van Zyl, told the Associated Press that he had begun canceling races for the upcoming season, including Diamond League (pro circuit) appearances and exhibition races. Van Zyl said he has heard support from Pistorius' fans "really on a global scale."

Dr. Murray Feingold: Eat your vegetables; you'll live longer
For years, health organizations have recommended eating five portions of fruits and vegetables each day. Although it's recommended, studies have shown that the majority of individuals consume less than that amount.
But does it really matter? Do people live longer by following this recommendation? Do they have fewer strokes and heart attacks? Do they develop fewer cancers?
According to a very recent mega-study on this subject, the answer is, yes and no. The study did show that by following the recommendation, people will live longer. It also showed that those who consumed five portions of fruits and vegetables had fewer heart attacks and strokes. However, it did not lower the risk of developing cancer.
If people who ate five portions a day lived longer, would they live even longer if they ate seven portions of fruits and vegetables?
The study showed that eating more than five daily portions was not associated with an increase in health benefits. Although it's always possible, it appears unlikely that future studies will negate the findings of this study.
What other studies and recommendations concerning our health will stand the test of time, since many of them do not?
I doubt that future studies will negate the positive effects of exercise. That does not mean it's necessary to exercise hours a day. It's been shown that exercising just 30 to 40 minutes a day, four or five days a week is enough exercise to improve a person's health.
Obviously, not smoking, treating high blood pressure and controlling blood lipids such as cholesterol levels are all beneficial.
But, some people do all these things and they still die at an early age. Why?
For many of these people, genetic factors are involved. They have certain mutations in their genes, frequently inherited, that make them more susceptible to such disorders as heart disease and cancer.
However, the good news is, because of advances in gene sequencing, many of the mysteries surrounding the deleterious effects of certain genes are being unraveled. These findings will be a giant step in determining ways to diagnose cancers and other diseases much earlier and even preventing them from taking place.
So, if you want to live a healthier and longer life, there are preventative steps that you can take to make this happen.
And, as genetic testing becomes more readily available, this will help you even more.
Massachusetts-based Dr. Murray Feingold is the physician in chief of The Feingold Center for Children, medical editor of WBZ-TV and WBZ radio, and president of the Genesis Fund.

Bob Marley musical to make premiere in Baltimore
NEW YORK (AP) — A musical about Bob Marley that uses the Jamaican reggae icon's music is in the works for next year.
Center Stage in Baltimore said Tuesday it would present the world premiere of "Marley," written and directed by company artistic director Kwame Kwei-Armah. It will run from May 6 to June 14.
The show focuses on the years 1975 to 1978, when Marley survived an attempted assassination in Jamaica and went into exile in London. It will feature mid-'70s Marley albums as "Exodus," ''Kaya," and "Rastaman Vibration," which include the songs "Jamming," ''Three Little Birds" and "Roots, Rock, Reggae."
It's a collaboration between Center Stage and New York's Public Theater, where Kwei-Armah directed two productions last year. Oskar Eustis, artistic director of the Public Theater, will be the "Marley" dramaturg.

In May 2007, the Santa Fe City Council approved a $45 million bond to build a new campus for the eponymous companies of local finance tycoon Garrett Thornburg.
By that fall, Thornburg's mortgage company began investigating a new strategy: buying a bank in order to unlock new sources of funding. Had the strategy succeeded, Thornburg might have been eligible for some of the $700 billion federal bailout that followed.
Things worked out differently.
This May, Thornburg Mortgage, now known as TMST, filed for bankruptcy protection. Its largest creditors include Wilmington Trust, Citigroup, JP Morgan and Wells Fargo—companies that have together received at least $79 billion in federal bailouts.
It is from these gigantic institutions that former Thornburg CEO Larry Goldstone and other top executives allegedly stole to form a new company that would follow the strategy conceived in 2007. The executives falsified records in order to pay themselves, employees and third-party vendors with hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to TMST's creditors, court documents allege.
The campus Thornburg built overlooking Santa Fe now stands as a potential crime scene. And the allegations come not from federal regulators—or even from the creditors—but from the TMST board.
Last week, US Bankruptcy Judge Duncan Keir approved the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee to take over the dismantling of TMST from its management. Two separate parties in the case tell SFR the judge found implausible TMST's claim that Goldstone, former Chief Financial Officer Clay Simmons and other principals in the new company, SAF Financial, acted without the knowledge of Thornburg's board.
"The judge basically said, 'Yes, I'm going to grant the trustee motion, because these people have shown they can't be trusted,'" one source, employed by a TMST creditor, says.
The trustee may be the only person with the power to answer a key question: Was Garrett Thornburg duped by his longtime colleagues? Or did he and the board decide to throw their old friends under the bus? The answer depends on what Thornburg knew and when.
Virtually no one involved in this story agreed to comment. SFR left messages at the homes of Goldstone, Simmons, Thornburg and others. All went unreturned. Thornburg Investment Management spokesman David Miller had no comment via email.
However, bankruptcy case files offer some clues.
On April 26, 2009—just days before Thornburg Mortgage's bankruptcy filing—the company's board was asked to waive its "corporate opportunity" to profit from the 2007 idea to take over a bank, a strategy Goldstone and Simmons hoped to pursue "separate from TMST."
According to TMST's attorneys, the board "declined to waive TMST's corporate opportunity."
After the bankruptcy, Goldstone approached Thornburg "with respect to a potential investment in SAF," Thornburg told fellow board members this fall, according to meeting minutes. But Thornburg declined.
His logic is hard to follow. For some reason, Thornburg didn't trust two top executives enough to invest in their new company. Yet TMST explicitly left itself the option of taking a stake in whatever Goldstone produced. Then, for months, TMST allowed Goldstone, Simmons and other employees to work on SAF matters inside Thornburg's Ridgetop Road campus.
"It doesn't smell right to me," the creditor's employee tells SFR.
Then there is the whistle-blower letter, from which the creditors learned of SAF's misappropriation. The anonymous Aug. 25 letter was sent to creditors' attorneys; TMST's new top executive, Anne-Drue Miller Anderson, claims to have received the letter on Aug. 29. At the Sept. 15 board meeting, Thornburg said "he was not aware prior to the receipt of the anonymous letter" that SAF was misappropriating funds.
That may be. It may also be that the letter came from someone attempting to pin as much responsibility as possible on Goldstone and the other SAF founders.
On Sept. 11, Anderson told Goldstone and Simmons it would be their last day at Thornburg. The following day, she says in court papers, the locks to their offices were changed and their building passes deactivated.
Sometime earlier, TMST claims, Goldstone and Simmons made off with company cell phones, computers and 40 boxes of files. "I don't know that anyone has actually figured out what's in them," Keith Sobol, a member of the TMST creditors' committee who works for Davis Selected Advisors in Santa Fe, tells SFR.
Goldstone's attorney says a response to TMST's allegations should be filed within a couple of weeks.
SFR's ongoing examination of Thornburg Mortgage is chronicled HERE.

Your Prescription for Well-Being: Attend a Support Group
By Sophie Klein
PHA Volunteer Services Associate
Support groups offer attendees so many benefits, both physically and emotionally. According to the Mayo Clinic, patients experience a number of health benefits when they attend support groups, including reduced distress, depression and anxiety as well as improved skills for coping and a greater sense of control over their own health. How do support groups do this? Read on to find out!
Finding Medical Answers
It's not unusual to have a lot of questions regarding your PH diagnosis and your treatment. Is nausea a normal side effect? Is it all right for me to take allergy medication? Sometimes you won't remember all the questions that you have or even have time to bring them up during your appointments with your PH specialist. Your PH support group may offer another outlet to discuss health-related questions.
Support groups often feature pulmonologists, cardiologists, nurses or respiratory therapists as speakers. And the majority of the time the speaker saves time for patient questions. If you have a pressing question, don't be afraid to ask, take notes and bring back what you learned to your next medical appointment.
Medical professionals are an invaluable part of support group education. Not only do they provide education and support, leaders often find that more people attend their meetings when a doctor is speaking. Cindy Green, support group leader of the Piedmont, N.C., Support Group, says, "We are an older group of PHers and we're trying to make our presence known. We have as many as 30 members when I can get a doctor to speak." Cindy explains that some of the new members who have joined the group first came to learn more about the disease, but have since grown close to others and return often.
Gaining Strength through Purpose
Even when your support group meeting does not feature a medical speaker, it still has the potential to positively affect your health. Support groups can provide a sense of purpose and control over your disease. Some support groups even hold special meetings focused on these ideas. Every year Charlotte McCabe, support group leader in Puyallup, Wash., plans a meeting about "Being Your Own Advocate" where she speaks about what pulmonary hypertension patients can do to get the most out of their medical appointments. Patients who arrive at appointments well-prepared, with a list of questions and notes on any health changes, will be able to get the most out of their time with a PH specialist.
Healing through Sharing
Hearing stories of others' experiences with the disease can help you troubleshoot day-to-day issues regarding your own situation. Hearing what others have to say about their experience can also put you at ease about difficult parts of living with PH. Mary Svikhart, a support group leader for the Hershey and Harrisburg, Pa., Support Group, found her first rightheart catheterization very distressing. Leading up to her second catheterization, she asked other patients about their experiences. Mary was surprised with the how calmly they reflected on the same procedure. In the end, the second catheterization was much easier. "They were right," she recounts. "That's the kind of cath I was supposed to have." Feedback from other PH patients can change your outlook and help make you more willing to go forward with your treatment.
Support groups also provide health benefits by by allowing everyone to share achievements with each other. The St. Louis, Mo., Support Group celebrated the end of 2011 by making a list of some of the health successes members of the group had over the course of the year, from an improved six-minute walk to a successful lung transplant. The benefits of witnessing the triumphs of others cannot be downplayed. At diagnosis, no one really knows what's in store for them and getting to know others with pulmonary hypertension may help. For the newly diagnosed patient, seeing someone who has lived with the disease for many years or getting to know someone who no longer needs to use oxygen can entirely change that person's expectations of the coming years. These are just a few of the many good reasons why support groups are good for your wellbeing.
What benefits do support groups bring to your wellbeing? Let us know! Email gro.noitaicossAHP@troppuS.
